Not Thirsty

I don't know if i am in the right area to ask about this but i was wondering if any of you have trouble drinking water. Before all of this started happening, i would get thirsty and was a normal water drinker. Now, i have to force myself to drink water because i am very rarely thirsty, I actually forget to drink water sometimes. And by the way, i have never been a soda, juice, or milk drinker, just water and coffee, and i only have coffee in the morning.Hope someone out there has some info, i think this is really weird. Thanks

Making sure your hydrated is just something you have to do regardless if your thirsty or not.  Really can't see how being "not thirsty" is a problem.  I wouldn't give it a second thought unless you are having a myriad of symptoms that make you suspect something is wrong.

 

Good Luck.

I just think it isn't normal to go a whole day and not want to drink any water.I never had to force myself to drink a glass of water before, i always wanted to naturally.

a wise woman once told me:  once you don't lose so much water through D, you don't need as much. 

 

you also get water in foods that your body is now digesting better :)  i am not thirsty very much.  if i am, i get something to drink - i figure trust my body.  if it needs extra fluids, it's gonna let me know.

I don't drink water thru out the day either. I do think it has to do with not having D I drink tea in the Am, I don't dring water thru out the day, sometimes at night I will make myself some lemon aide , not because I am thirsty , because I like it!!

The best way to know if you get enough liquid is to look at your pee.  Pee should be very light yellow.  If not, drink some more water during the day.

Also you can put your hand on a flat surface pull the skin on top your hand up gently like a lil pinch of skin , pull it up gently and let go , if it stays up , you may be dehydrated if it goes down fast your fine :)  I actually just did that to mine and mine is staying up a bit! I may have to make myself some lemonade :)

I hope your body will learn to ask when it needs it.  I got checked for diabetes more than once because of my "extreme thirst."  I guess when a body is messed up, it can mess up any which way?  My thirst level has become more regular since gluten free is working for me.  I hope yours will too.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
